Macbook pro's Wifi card not working with BT4

Hi,

I have installed Backtrack 4 on my Macbook pro (5.1) with VMWare Fusion. My wifi card reference is Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (driver version : 5.10.91.19).
BT4 runs very well but my card is not recognized. I keep on searching on internet but I can't find out how to make it be recognized and work.
What do I have to do?

You mean the one that says "PLEASE READ THE FAQ AND SEARCH BEFORE POSTING!" and flashes so much it gives you seizures?

If only the <BLINK> worked on this forum.

Common Knowledge: Username, "root". Password, "toor". "startx" gives you a GUI, and "fix-vesa" will fix BT if you have no GUI. Start networking with "/etc/init.d/networking start" and check your IP settings with "ifconfig -a". "dhclient" will automatically use DHCP for your IP. Google is your friend.

No, the one that says "Internal wifi doesn't work with Virtual Machines!" This question is a close second to "How do I crack my neighbor's WEP?".

I don't think any of those compare with the ones that ask "How do I getz monies from creit cards?!?!?!"

Either way, OP did you get that "Internal WiFi doesn't work in Virtual Machines"?... I hope through our joking nature the message was clear... If not check this link: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...-4-vmware.html. Found it in about... 6 seconds of searching? Hey and look, or own Barry is on that thread as well!

Let me go make you one really quick Barry...
*Starts GIMP*
*KrkkrkrkKRKKRKRKkrkkrghjkrhrk*
*WHHHHHIIIIRRRR*
*Shotgun Cocking*
*BANG*
... *Sigh*... Barry, Its not really flashy, but it gets the job done... Hope you enjoy it, I had to get out the welding gun to make it, and then I had to put down one of my computers to process it... (I had to shoot it with a shotgun...)

PS: Yes I was trying to make sound effects. I was only joking with the welding and shotgun, no my computer didn't actually die... Just to be clear to anyone who cant take a joke.

If only I knew how to make it flash... Does anyone else want to give the banner a shot?
